Delaware County Teen Charged With Homicide by Vehicle While DUI in Death of Swarthmore Professor

An arrest warrant is outstanding as the investigation continues.

Overview

  • Delaware County prosecutors charged 18-year-old Kali Poole on Tuesday with homicide by vehicle while DUI, driving without a license, and careless driving.
  • Investigators say he hit 39-year-old Eduard “Teddy” Einstein during a left turn on Providence Road in Upper Darby, where Einstein was riding in a marked bike lane.
  • Authorities report Poole had marijuana in his system, and he held only a learner’s permit that barred him from driving alone.
  • Prosecutors say a warrant for Poole’s arrest is active, and the case remains open as police seek more information.
  • Einstein, a Swarthmore College mathematician and father of two, is mourned by his community, and the DA says the case shows how impaired, unauthorized driving puts lawful road users at risk.
